Todd Rundgren and the Liars
Count Basie Theater, Red Bank NJ
Friday April 23, 2004

Very Good Audience recording. Sound Professionals Premium Cardioid mikes, battery box into Sony MZ-R37 minidisc. Transfer to hard drive, Cool Edit Pro for editing (see below).

Well, here we go, the first torrent of Todd Rundgren on his current tour. The first few shows were apparently ragged, but this one found the band to be sharp. The lead vocals were somewhat lost in the mix, but improved as the night went on.

The torrent is comprised of two large .flac files, two Nero .nra files for burning/track splits, and this .txt file. Sorry I don?t know how to read the md5 file to post them in the text, but the md5 file is there.

There is another version of this show, and I traded with the other guy who recorded the show. We agreed that my version sounds a little better. However, I blew the disc swaps, and his version has most of the music that I missed. So I used Cool Edit Pro?s multi track editor to drop in the missing parts. I think I did a pretty good job of blending the two, so this version gives you the best-sounding, most complete show available.

I?ve heard that the acoustics in other venues (and as many as five different recordings of the same concert) may yield better recordings than this. But this is a pretty good start for us Todd fans who have kept up with his 90?s to present output. The live performances of songs from the newest CD, Liars, sound better than the CD. He?s assembled a great band.
